craigslist is by far the best online FREE classified bulletin board. In New York, Boston and San Francisco craigslist is one of the best ways to find a job or an apartment. Now that Craigslist has been in Pittsburgh for awhile more people are using it and there is a lot of great info on there – and some funny stories too.

Why is it called craigslist? (this is one of my favorite parts and it tells you abit about what kind of site craigslist is)…

Craig wanted to call it “sf-events”, but more knowledgeable friends suggested calling it “craigslist” to reinforce its personal and down-to-earth nature. He still finds it awkward that such a visible site is named after him, but he’ll get over it.

Oh Craigslist.. where should I begin.. I used to be in love with craigslist, but has anyone else noticed that it's becoming really difficult to post a legitimate ad on Craigslist lately? I've always used craigslist to sell old junk when I need extra cash, but lately the craigslist spammers have made things nearly impossible for the rest of us. Maybe it is just me? What does everyone else think?
